Asked by reemsaad

Answer (3)

It is important for scientists to be able to remove DNA because it enhances biotechnological studies.

The removal of DNA by scientists fundamentally helps in determining the unique features and characteristics i.e. size, function, etc of a particular DNA.

Additionally, it is also important for scientists to remove DNA because it aids in the determination of the paternity of an organism.

Another importance is, for the scientists to be able to study genetic origin and causes of different kind of diseases of an organism. The removal of DNA helps scientists to be able to sequence genomes, detect viruses and bacteria in the environment.

A scientist has the ability to remove DNA from an organism, they can manipulate, classify, and observe the DNA. By studying DNA, a scientist can identify genetic diseases or disorders. By experimenting with or manipulating with DNA, the scientist can possibly find cures for the causes. DNA is a thread-like chain of nucleotides which carries genetic instructions and is used in the growth functioning, reproduction, and development of all many viruses and known living organisms. RNA and DNA are termed as nucleic acids alongside lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. RNA and DNA are major types of macromolecules that are essential for well-known**** forms of life.
